Chapter 159 Lucheng City
Qin Yunxia is calm, saying: “Big brother Yuan, don’t worry. When Miss was in the Princess Palace, this situation has happened several times already, Miss should be breaking through.”
“Breaking through again?” Yuan Ye mutters to himself: “Miss has high qualifications ah!”
Qin Yunxia shows a gloomy look. She is naturally aware that Miss’s qualifications are not high, on the contrary its very bad. In her first meridian there is a piece of cartilage blocking her, if she is not able to resolve that piece of cartilage, her cultivation realm will always remain in the Qi-Intake realm.
“What’s the matter?” Seeing Qin Yunxia’s gloomy look, Yuan Ye can’t help but ask.
“Nothing!” Qin Yunxia shakes her head, no longer speaking. Seeing Qin Yunxia not wanting to speak, Yuan Ye tactfully shuts his mouth.
Gradually, a hint of fish belly white appears in the sky, and the sunlight seems to drive out the darkness. Night retreats, and daylight advances, and soon the whole sky is bright. Her eyes gaze at the leaves, and their mottled shadows falling on the carriage.
“Pa!”
The door of the carriage opens, and Qin Shuang stretches her head out and asks, “Is there a water source nearby?”
These days, Yuan Ye had already gone out to search for water, so he immediately points to the left side saying:
“There’s a river five hundred meters away!”
Qin Shuang immediately opens the door, jumping out, her hand carrying a bag loaded with new clothes, rushing away. The carriage exudes a smell. Yuan Ye and Qin Yunxia know that its the smell of impurities from Qin Shuang’s breakthrough.
Qin Yunxia immediately grabs her weapon and runs after Qin Shuang, while Yuan Ye stands up and opens the doors and windows of the carriage.
Qin Shuang has finally arrived at the river. At this time the sky has just turned bright, there is no one here. Encountering other people here is pretty rare. She takes off her clothes and jumps in the river.
After a while, Qin Yunxia also runs over and takes up Qin Shuang’s clothes. Washing it up by the river. While she washes the clothing, Qin Shuang also washes off the impurities on her body, then changes into dry clothes. Qin Yunxia goes into the woods, to hang the clothing on the branches. The three take a day’s rest in the forest. The next day, they set off again.
This day.
Qin Shuang is sitting in the carriage to cultivate, now she has killed the impure demon, Thief Swallower. Her repair has broken through to the fifth layer of the sensing period, and her strength has reached the fifth layer of the Qi-Intake realm. But the face of Qin Shuang does not have the slightest joy, because she knows the faster she ascends, the closer she comes to her blocked meridian, and thats the moment her repair becomes stagnant.
“Miss, it’s Lucheng city!”
Outside she suddenly hears Yuan Ye’s voice. Hearing his words she is excited in her heart, opening the window to look outside.
Now the outside is no longer desolate looking with no people. Its bustling and lively, an endless flow of people. They’re walking on foot and some are riding horses on the official road. There are carriages and palanquins. Qin Shuang looks, her carriage is not a high-end carriage, and after a long journey, it gives off a shabby feeling. All around the carriages are much more luxurious than the carriage she rides in.
Looking ahead, she sees a huge city wall with two large characters above the spacious archway:
Lucheng City.
There is a guard at the gate of the city, but there is no search and no entrance fee is required. Qin Shuang’s carriage follows the flow of people and enters Lucheng City.
“Miss, where are we going?”
“Go to an inn first!” Qin Shuang said: “Then you go and find out where Lucheng City’s Confucian Academy is, and then see if you can rent a courtyard nearby.”
“Yes, Miss!”
Yuan Ye rushes the carriage to an inn, standing in front of the inn is a young attendant. Seeing a dilapidated horse carriage parking in front of the inn, his eyes flash with displeasure, but when he sees Qin Shuang coming out of the carriage, his unpleasant look immediately turns into enthusiasm. Because he sees the Confucian robe worn by Qin Shuang.
In Lucheng City, how could he not know the meaning of Confucian robes?
In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can wear Confucian robes. One are the royal nobles, and the other is a scholar who has already shown scholarly talent. No matter what type of person, its not someone he can afford to provoke. Originally thought to be a poor and sour businessman, he didn’t think it was actually a scholar. Naturally, he doesn’t think Qin Shuang is a princess. How can a Princess ride such a shabby carriage?
But he still greets her with great enthusiasm, bowing and scraping, he asks:
“This Miss, staying at the inn or dining in?”
“Two rooms, right next to each other.”
“Yes, please follow me.” The attendant steps into the inn and shouts, “Two rooms!”
Three people enter their rooms, and have the servants prepare their bathing water. Yuan Ye thought of immediately looking for Lucheng Confucian Academy and renting a house, but he was stopped by Qin Shuang:
“Yuan Ye, don’t rush now. Its the afternoon, we’ll finish our meal, have a good night’s rest, and it won’t be too late to go again tomorrow. For the time being you can ask the innkeeper first.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The second day.
Yuan Ye went out to inquire about the Confucian Academy and renting a house, while Qin Shuang and Qin Yunxia take a stroll in Lucheng City. This Lucheng City is really the first time for Qin Shuang, its truly full of top hats and caps, there are scholars everywhere, it is indeed a holy mecca for Scholars in Crescent Moon Kingdom. And in this city, martial artist are very rare. Furthermore this city is not small, its almost comparable with Crescent Moon City.
After strolling around for a day, they ate outside at noon, and at dusk, Qin Shuang finally returns to the inn. Soon after returning to the inn, she hears a knock on the door. Qin Yunxia goes and opens the door. Yuan Ye is standing outside the door. Qin Yunxia turns to one side and Yuan Ye walks in.
“Miss, I already know where the Confucian Academy is, but there are no good houses for rent around. Don’t mention a house, that is, there are hardly any courtyard houses, and if there are its frighteningly expensive.”
Qin Shuang nods, the houses around the Confucian Academy are expensive and scarce, which is understandable.
Seeing that Qin Shuang’s expression is not dismayed, Yuan Ye is secretly relieved in his heart, and then says:
“I rented a courtyard about 1,500 meters away from the Confucian Academy. The courtyard is about 150 square meters. In addition to the courtyard, there are four rooms.”
“Go, we’ll move over now,” She says, standing up from her chair.
In front of a gate, a worn-out carriage comes to a halt. Qin Shuang and Qin Yunxia jump down from the carriage. Qin Shuang looks up at the gate, seeing that the gate maintenance is very good, she lightly nods. Yuan Ye hurries forward, taking out the key to open the gate, and then turning back to invite Qin Shuang in. Then he pulls the carriage into the gate, and returns to close the gate.
